I am sure you hear it all the time, as do I. In fact, just the other day I heard it from a perfect stranger! I was in a long line at the airport and he was complaining, then made a suggestion as to how the customer service people could help the situation. I asked him why he didn’t share that information with the representative and with the airline, as it was a good idea. His response: “It wouldn’t matter. They wouldn’t listen anyway.”
So many of us feel this way at one time or another–like what we could do would not make a difference. Sometimes we may not even KNOW how to make a difference, and thus continue to do the usual, maybe even hoping that others will change things.
Here is my challenge to myself every day: FIND something that will make a difference!
Real estate is a service industry. It’s not just about selling a house, it’s about people and how their lives are affected. Your actions can literally make a big difference in your clients’ lives. This applies to ANY job!
Your actions are a gift. It doesn’t have to be something tangible…a handwritten note, providing a list of great people you trust for various jobs, or even offering your assistance with moving or pet-sitting…it can be anything that makes someone feel good.
To get started I encourage you to click on this link: http://www.stservicemovie.com/. It inspired me today and so I am sharing it with you. Johnny made a big difference in so many lives, one day at a time, with a simple yet heartfelt act. It didn’t take much.
Make the world a better place every day by making a difference, however small. Have a wonderful day!
